Start calling the convicts ‘clumps of cells’ and the Dems will change their mind.
Via TPM:
Democrats will call for the end of the death penalty at their national convention this month, according to a draft of the party platform released Friday. The proposal represents a win for supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who called for the abolishment of capital punishment during the Democratic primary. Presumptive Dem nominee Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, approves of a "very limited use" of the death penalty, particularly in "horrific" terrorist crimes, according to CNN.
A draft of the Democratic platform published by the Washington Post promises, "We will abolish the death penalty, which has proven to be a cruel and unusual form of punishment. It has no place in the United States of America."
